About David J.
David J. Blair completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2003. He returned to Colorado for graduate study and earned his J.D. from the University of Colorado Denver in 2008. In the same year he also completed an LL.M. through the University of Denver Tax Program. The dual graduate degrees reflect an early decision to pursue legal work that intersects with tax law.
Blair's academic path placed him in programs known for practical training. The LL.M. in the Tax Program indicates extended study in federal and state tax matters, tax policy and transactional tax analysis. Finishing both a J.D. and an LL.M. in the same year required an intensive course of study. It also positioned him to advise clients on complex tax questions from the outset of his career.
After completing his degrees in 2008, Blair entered legal practice. Over time he developed experience handling a range of tax-related matters for individuals and businesses. His work has included counseling on tax compliance, planning for business transactions, and addressing tax reporting issues. He has worked with taxpayers facing audits and with business owners navigating the tax consequences of structuring and restructuring enterprises.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He favors careful analysis over grand assertions. He pays attention to administrative guidance and statutory detail. That attention helps when preparing opinions on tax risk or when advising clients about potential exposure. He communicates complex tax rules in plain terms so clients can make informed decisions.
Outside the day-to-day client work, Blair has remained connected to continuing legal education opportunities common among tax practitioners. He has participated in seminars and kept current on changes in tax law and IRS procedure. As of 2026 he maintains a law practice that centers on tax law and related business matters.
